Former Italy manager Roberto Mancini will be the new coach of the Saudi Arabia national team, Ansa disclosed.
Mancini will travel to Riyadh on Monday for a presentation. According to Italian media, he will sign a deal until 2027 worth 25 million euros ($27 million) net per year and will make his debut on the bench against Costa Rica on September 8.
